Forklift Steer Axles

Steer Axle for Forklift - The classification of an axle is a central shaft meant for turning a gear or a wheel. Where wheeled motor vehicles are concerned, the axle itself may be attached to the wheels and turn together with them. In this particular instance, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. Conversely, the axle can be attached to its surroundings and the wheels may in turn rotate all-around the axle. In this instance, a bearing or bushing is situated inside the hole in the wheel to allow the gear or wheel to rotate all-around the axle.

Whenever referring to trucks and cars, several references to the word axle co-occur in casual usage. Normally, the term refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself revolves along with the wheel. It is usually bolted in fixed relation to it and known as an 'axle shaft' or an 'axle.' It is likewise true that the housing surrounding it which is normally known as a casting is otherwise known as an 'axle' or at times an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the word refers to every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are attached to one another or they are not. Thus, even transverse pairs of wheels in an independent suspension are often known as 'an axle.'

The axles are an essential part in a wheeled vehicle. The axle serves in order to transmit driving torque to the wheel in a live-axle suspension system. The position of the wheels is maintained by the axles relative to one another and to the vehicle body. In this particular system the axles should also be able to bear the weight of the vehicle plus whichever cargo. In a non-driving axle, like the front beam axle in several two-wheel drive light trucks and vans and in heavy-duty trucks, there would be no shaft. The axle in this situation works only as a steering component and as suspension. Many front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

The axle works only to transmit driving torque to the wheels in various kinds of suspension systems. The angle and position of the wheel hubs is part of the operating of the suspension system seen in the independent suspensions of new SUVs and on the front of several new cars and light trucks. These systems still have a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It can be connected to the vehicle body or frame or likewise can be integral in a transaxle. The axle shafts then transmit driving torque to the wheels. The shafts in an independent suspension system are similar to a full floating axle system as in they do not support the motor vehicle weight.

The vehicle axle has a more ambiguous classification, meaning that the parallel wheels on opposing sides of the motor vehicle, regardless of their kind of mechanical connection to one another.
